The Wait for Build Setup is Over: Microsoft Visual Studio Lab Management to the RescueVinod MalhotraGroup Program ManagerMicrosoft Corporation

PDC09-FT53

SW Development – Productivity is Low Because…> Deploying builds for multi-tier apps is

error prone and takes forever

> Testers not focused on what is important

> Developers can’t reproduce bugs

What If…> Build-Deploy-Test is automated for

multi-machine test environments

> Test cases impacted by code changes are prioritized

> Developers get access to test environment in the same state as at the time of filing bug
